History[]

Before Guardians of the Galaxy

Kraglin is born on the planet Xandar to Xandarian parents. At some point, Kraglin becomes the First Mate of Yondu Udonta and the Yondu Ravager Clan. For years, Kraglin and the other members follow Yondu's lead to abduct children and deliver them to their father, Ego. However, Yondu learns that Ego was killing children who do not inherit the Celestial gene. Yondu decides to keep one child and raise him as a Ravager. Kraglin keeps the knowledge of them having to deliver Quill to his father from Peter a secret. (Guardians of the Galaxy, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2)

Overtime, Kraglin forms a small rivalry with Peter (Guardians of the Galaxy)
